Clone Detection In Wsn's For Optimization Of Energy And Memory Efficiency

Abstract

The Energy-Efficient location-aware clone detection protocol in densely deployed WSNs, which canguarantee successful clone attack detection and maintain satisfactory network lifetime. Specifically, we exploit the location informationof sensors and randomly select witnesses located in a ring area to verify the legitimacy of sensors and to report detected clone attacks.The ring structure facilitates energy-efficient data forwarding along the path towards the witnesses and the sink. We theoretically provethat the proposed protocol can achieve 100 percent clone detection probability with trustful witnesses. We further extend the work bystudying the clone detection performance with untrustful witnesses and show that the clone detection.
